WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for people we can help to become data visualization specialists. There are 5 core requirements:

  1. You have a creative-analytical brain. Math came easy to you in school but you have also always loved the arts and are looking for a career that requires you to thrive in STEM and uses your creative brain.

  2. You have an eye for design. You recognize the importance of design and will move pixel after pixel to get your message just right for your audience.

  3. You are a planner through and through. You are organized, color-coordinated, and think 5 steps ahead. You know your plans will often have to change and that is okay. You can plan and pivot.

  4. You take initiative. You don’t sit around waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. It’s just not in your nature. You are full of ideas and can get started without step-by-step direction.
